Mopeds for Blackburn and Darwen traffic wardens

From the Telegraph web site

Traffic wardens in Blackburn and Darwen have been given mopeds to ride around the borough.

What do you think about Hyndburn doing the same thing?

I have a couple of thoughts

1. I like how the moped in the picture is illegally parked on the yellow lines while he writes out a ticket.

2. I am not sure if they can enforce those yellow lines in the picture either as they are so badly worn.

Any thoughts on my points or others

They don't need mopeds in Hyndburn, just chain the wardens to the lamp posts on Blackburn Road.

I don't know why everyone hates traffic wardens. If you didn't park illegally you wouldn't get a ticket!

Saying that last year when it was snowing, I parked in a disabled space, but didn't know because the markings were covered in snow and the b******s slapped a ticket on me!

I'm not saying everyone, but the majority of people park on double yellows and then wonder why they get a ticket.

I know its really annoying, but at the end of the day the yellow lines are there for a reason - safety of others normally.

I would have contested that one, the lines have to be clearly visible
